Recent cold front hit’s Crapsonville. Weather forcasted to be dismal.....as was such with this brew. i don;t know what it was, but it looked good, yet there was no taste outside of some carbonated apple juice. Not sure what Sammiez playing at. I was uberly dissapointed in this but it fits this weirdo late cold front that’s moved in recently. Perhaps more of a soviet weather engineering tactic.

Bottle. Tastes complexly sweet. Has a hint of licorice, or something similar that was hard to put my finger on. I highly recommend it, after all it’s Samuel Smith, they haven’t created a bad beer I’ve ever found.

I’ve sampled several offering from the venerable Samuel Smith brewery and I haven’t come across a bad beer yet. I had this in the 550ml bottle. The writer didnt’ waste any time with this sad description. I didnt’ realize that carbon dioxide was an ingredient. I certainly couldn’t detect any ’seaweed finings’ but I wouldn’t be surprised if more haughty reviewers had. Still, nice job.

Drank in an english pint. Clear caramel color poor with a nice frothy beige head. Aromas of caramel, nice sweet aromatic hops, cask and nutty. Nice sweet caramel taste, figs, maple syrup with an earthy finish. Good bitterness, nicely carbonated and a very creamy body. Not as light as you might think yet still very refreshing.

Bottle - First review Pours a deep rust red. The head lingers slightly with minor lacing, and the nose is a nutty, aromatic malt. Taste is a slightly-spicy, neutral malt with a bitter hop character coming through at the finish. A lovely beer on a cold Toronto night, but beyond that it’s a tad mundane.

clear amber color. typical english hop aroma. flavour is bitter with the typical english hopppiness. Some spice comes though, I find it quite similar to the pale ale. over all nice, but not mind blowing.
